1. It means nothing to people with minimal calcification in their brains.
It means "I have a right--no, a duty-- to be an asshole" to some people.

2. My dear Pri...
I think it means that if you and a friend have different opinions on something, and you disagree violently about it...

Then you have to choose which is more important: Your opinion or your friendship.

It sucks.

4. Never really heard this one before
however it would seem to imply that there are those who believe friendship is based on always being in agreement. Frankly I think a friendship based on mutual respect would be a better alternative along with the old phrase to agree to disagree.

6. It means sometimes you have to let offensive bullshit slide...
...in order to remain civil. When necessary, I don't consider such people to be friends anyway.

7. I heard it as, "you can either be happy or right"
esp if you have diferences with those close to you.

8. It's a common Face-a-book message,
isn't it?
